Take care of your mind is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself, your business, and those who love you.

Here’s a glance at my own entrepreneurial journey.

Born

April 1982

A healthy, bundle of joy was born in Kerala, India

The Young Entrepreneur

June 1987

My parents told me that I loved to create as a kid. Here’s a picture of me making either a rocket or a house (I can’t believe my parents let me use a saw at age 5!)

The Move

May 1989

Wanting to provide a better life our family, my parents immigrated to the U.S (Texas). Leaving all that you’ve known and having to learn a new language has been one of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve done.

High School Graduation

May 2000

First in my family to graduate high school and attend college in the US.

College Graduation

May 2004

Completed Bachelors in Psychology.

Start of Grad School

August 2005

Accepted into PhD program.

An Entrepreneurial Spark

October 2006

Really got into landscape photography. Had idea to create a website and forum to display photos but never followed though because of fear.

Entrepreneurship and Social Justice

December 2007

Spent 3 weeks in Bombay, India working with an NGO helping to end human sex trafficking (Bombay has the largest concentrated red light district in the world). Decided to use my abilities to better the world and not just create income.

The Meeting

March 2010

Met my future wife on a humanitarian trip to New Orleans helping rebuilt houses hit by Hurricane Katrina. Never imagined a Cowboys fan and Eagles fan living in one house =P.

Grad School Over!

August 2011

After 5 years, a 120 page dissertation, and over 3,000 hours of counseling others from those directly impacted by 9/11 to brilliant thinkers, to special forces soldiers, I graduated with my PhD.

Officially Licensed

November 2012

Completed internship and postdoctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The Idea

September 2014

Idea for podcast came in the shower. Not believing I had anything worthwhile to say or contribute, I put it off for 3.5 months. Learned that ideas without execution simply stay dreams.

Pushing Forward

December 2014

Couldn’t get podcast idea out of my head. Decided that trying my hardest and failing was better than not trying at all.

The Dejection

March 2015

Launched first episode of podcast. 10 downloads on Day 1. I was crushed.

Top Ranked Podcast

March 2015

Podcast became one of the top 15 new podcasts in iTunes. I cried tears of joy

First E-Course

November 2015

Launched The Healthcasters, the first community and course for health, wellness and fitness podcasters. Over 1,200 podcasters expressed interest but only 6 bought. Decided to invest in the 6 who bought trusting things would work out.
